650ft² is doable for a single person on the short term.

I would bet that there are rooms in your house that you haven't used for months.
It's a lifestyle choice.

Basically, $150k per year in Silicon Valley is roughly equivalent to $75k per year in Hampton Roads. And Silicon Valley isn't like Manhattan, where you can find anything you could possibly want by walking a few blocks, even if it's to a Subway station. Silicon Valley is a frickin' suburb, where you pretty much need a car to get to the clubs and nice restaurants that make that kind of rent worth the price. In other words, it ain't worth it.
Unless you don't believe in market forces, it's worth it to a lot of people.

If things get really tight, live in the camper. LOL
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

They're half the square footage at the same cost of a trailer. Only benefit is it is more mobile.cwtcr hokie wrote:for sure, its why i laugh at the tiny house people tho, they are paying huge dollars for a tiny space which only works if you have very little stuffMajor Kong wrote:650ft² is doable for a single person on the short term.

Re: Google beta-testing feudalism
We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while. There's a house hunter type show about people buying RVs and "fulltiming" in it. There are some nice ones. The only time I think I'd go crazy is when it's really cold outside for an extended period, or raining for an extended period.Major Kong wrote:Been there, done that and it wasn't bad at all.Hokie CPA wrote:I guess one could go the route of Ben Affleck in The Accountant and park a Streamline in a storage unit.

We have a 26 footer. Dad got the fall before he passed away and never had a chanced to use it...we've put it to good use though.HokieFanDC wrote:We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while.

We had a 22' Airstream and I put it to good use down in TN after graduation for 4 months.

Love the airstream, not sure it's worth the extra coin as our first RV though. What make is your 26 ft.?

1978 GMC 26' Motorhome...he picked it up for a song down in Crossville, TN.HokieFanDC wrote:Love the airstream, not sure it's worth the extra coin as our first RV though. What make is your 26 ft.?
My grandfather bought the Airstream Safari and brought it back to VA when we were living in Bellflower, VA...when he passed away in '77 my Dad got it. It survived just about everything until an ice storm in '83 brought down an Oak tree on top of it.

Re: Google beta-testing feudalism
my neighbor who bought the 100 acres beside my land is doing that now, he put his house up for sale and it sold in 3 days, he did not expect it to sell near that fast so they are living in a fifth wheel RV while the new house is being builtHokieFanDC wrote:We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while.
